West Carthage board to seek radio antenna definitions

WEST CARTHAGE  The village Board of Trustees left open the public hearing about a moratorium on the construction of fixed-base or ground-based antennas Monday night.

Board members wanted time to obtain a better definition of fixed-base and home-based antennas. They will resume the hearing during the July 15 meeting.

Mayor Scott M. Burto said the moratoriums intent was to allow time to regulate the towers because of ham radios popularity. A 180-day moratorium would allow the board to research existing regulations and gain public input.
